The House was infinite ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Welcome!|Welcome!]]'') and home to many portals to and from other dimensions than [[Universe A (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|the one]] where its original exterior happened to be located. In many cases, transit from one room to another was achieved through portals internal to the house, rather than more conventionally making one's way through the building.

A man at the restroom whom [[Rennik]] was telling about a party he attended on the [[#3rd floor basement|3rd floor basement]] once got it confused for the [[#2nd floor attic|2nd floor attic]], with which Rennik was also familiar.

The Dining Room changed based on the observer, with even two people sitting side by side, drinking together, not necessarily perceiving the room the same way. It could appear as anything from “the [[viking]] halls of [[Valhalla]]” to something more personal like “the nightclub where you had your first kiss”. Even the food and drinks could change — “while you drink your microbrew and have your salt and vinegar crisps, your friend may quaff mead and eat suckling pig”. However, the room's magical effects seemed to also prevent people from caring about all this.
